Page 17: Connections
INSTALLATION (Continued) Connections Install your meter in-line with either horizontal flow or vertical flow. The best meter position for horizontal flow setups is with the meter rotated slightly (about 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock) to tilt the top from the horizontal plane (see Figure 4). This prevents sediment from settling on the lower set of sensing electrodes. - Page 18 INSTALLATION (Continued) NPT Fittings Seal all pipe threads with an appropriate non-lubricated thread sealant (such as Loctite® No More Leaks™ Plastic Pipe Thread Sealant). Make sure the thread sealant does not intrude into the flow path. Hand tighten the meter at the housing ends. Do not use a wrench or similar tool to tighten as this can damage the housing.
- Page 19 NOTE: Each end of the flow tube has a boss on top with a recessed floor. The ports can also be used to install a FLOMEC Grounding Probe Kit. To install a FLOMEC Grounding Probe Kit in these meters, the customer must drill and tap the ports per the Grounding Probe Kit instructions.

Page 20: Wiring
INSTALLATION (Continued) Wiring All electronic options are associated with a matching style of meter cover plate. This cover plate has four threaded ports, compatible with PG7 threads, for gaining wiring access to the electronics inside the cover plate. The meter is shipped with the ports environmentally sealed with a threaded plug and seal. -
Page 21: Troubleshooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING MEASUREMENT IS NOT ACCURATE PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION Debris/particles in liquid Need proper filtration Increase back pressure on meter to Air in liquid - No back pressure eliminate air Install meter away from other fittings or Air in liquid - Plumbing installation flow obstructions. -
Page 22: Maintenance & Service
MAINTENANCE The meter is virtually maintenance- free. However, it is important to keep the meter clean and free of contaminants. CAUTION: Do not allow liquids to dry inside the meter. The electrodes may develop a film that degrades accuracy. Remove internal debris or deposits using soft brush or small probe. NOTE: Make sure the arrow on the meter is pointed in the direction of fluid flow (see Figure 2). -
